One math teacher, parent Sharise Smith tells WJBK-TV, has been absent for more than 68 days.
The students marched outside the school and chanted, "We want... education!
When do we want it? Now!"
Students and parents became increasingly alarmed when Frederick Douglass was
no longer listed as an application school in the district -- current students
had to apply
to attend. Smith told the Free Press that her son was given an A in
geometry without taking a final exam.
